For many of the players this will be a step back in time, with some great and not so great memories. Great Britain’s Kate Richardson-Walsh may ruefully rub her face and remember both the pain of playing through the horrific injury that left her jawbone shattered, and the ecstasy of winning a bronze medal. For Jaap Stockmann, London was all about disappointment after the Netherland’s ‘keeper produced save after save to keep his team in the final, only to see the ball slipped past him, after a poor clearance in the dying minutes of the match, sending the gold medal back to Germany. But that was then, and this year it is all about another date with destiny… in Rio. The teams that line up for the Champions Trophy in London will be in the final stages of preparation for their Olympic journey and that is why the action at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park will be nothing short of spectacular. Hockey venues around the world have shown they can put on a great show. The 2014 World Cup in the Hague was a fantastic feast of hockey, with a vibrant, orange-clad atmosphere every time the Netherlands took to the pitch. Whichever venue is hosting an event in Argentina, you can be certain that the moment the first notes of the Argentine national anthem plays, until the final whistle blows, the stadium will be rocking to the tune of the blue and white spectators. And it is the same in India – the crowds love to see their national heroes in action and the cacophony of sound is unbelievable at times. However, what London managed to do in 2012, was make the stadium feel like a home crowd no matter what nation was playing. The capital city is such a multi-cultural hot-potch, that, no matter what nations were playing, there was always a sizeable ‘home crowd’. And if Great Britain were not playing, then the crowd would good-naturedly get behind whichever team needed the most support. planet HOCKEY 7 Whether the Champions Trophy events will create the same buzz remains to be seen. Certainly England Hockey are already pulling out all the stops to make it a spectacular showcase. The EuroHockey Finals, held at the venue last June, were an indication of how successful a hockey event could be. Every England game was a sell-out and the final afternoon was as noisy and excited as any sports event gets, but there were also matches where the spectators stayed away and the players performed to a handful of family members. The difference between the 2012 Olympic Games and the 2015 EuroHockey Finals was that the former event was part of a multi-sport experience. People wanted to go to the Olympics – no matter what the event. And hockey was one of the events which had a large capacity and relatively cheap tickets. At the EuroHockey event, it was largely hockey fans who were attracted, and there are only so many of them. The beauty of using a venue for major events in quick succession is that you can tweak things and learn from mistakes. England Hockey will have gathered a lot of feedback from the EuroHockey event. They will know that the ‘Hockey Village’ was popular; that the street food was, on the whole, well-supported – although the food of some nations was better received than others! They will know that if it rains, there is a dearth of shelter; they will know that the army of volunteers are nothing short of fantastic; and they will know they have to get their ticketing levels right if they are to attract people from a wider cohort than just the hockey community. The women’s Champions Trophy was always going to be in London, the men’s event being moved there at this late stage is both a bonus and a challenge to England Hockey. The bonus is in having yet another major international on home turf and the kudos that gives to the hosting nation; the challenge is in selling the event to a public that falls in and out of love with hockey with indecent haste.

She was given the MBE by Queen Elizabeth in 2013 and has won admirers around the hockey world for her straight talking and clear-sighted vision for hockey’s development. Under Munday’s leadership, England Hockey – which is the national governing body for hockey in the UK and is responsible for both the England Hockey teams and teams representing Great Brit-ain – has become a professional, commercially-aware entity. The 2012 Olympics were a huge suc-cess story for England Hockey with thousands of people, who had never really watched the game, flooding through the gates. Sally Munday has always worked in sport, firstly for the Lawn Tennis Association and then for Eng-land Hockey in a regional development role. She was also team manager for Slough Hockey Club, which at the time was one of the pre-eminent clubs in Europe, and for the south of England region-al team. One of the things that makes Sally Munday such a successful chief executive is the fact that her career pathway to the top has encompassed so many roles in hockey along the way, giving her a unique understanding of how the sport works at all levels. The next few years are important times for Munday and her team. One of her dreams was to cre-ate a home for hockey in the UK and the Lee Valley Hockey Centre on the Queen Elizabeth Olym-pic Park is proving worthy of the title.

Twenty-eight (n = 28) elite international field hockey players were recruited during the 2018–2020 seasons. Players were monitored with GPS technology and heart-rate monitors. Methods: Activity was categorised into total distance (m), relative total distance (m·min−1), high-speed distance (m; 16 km·h−1), relative high-speed distance (m·min−1), max velocity (km·h−1), and percentage maximal velocity (%Vmax). Physiological demands were assessed via heart rate measures (bpm and % HRmax) and time > 80% heart rate maximum. Results: A single rotation equated to 7 ± 0.8 min. Players covered a mean total distance of was 868 ± 132 m (125.7 ± 5.9 m·min−1) with 140 ± 39 m at high- speed (21.7 ± 3.6 m·min−1). A significant difference was reported for relative total (p ≤ 0.001), and high-speed (p ≤ 0.001), distance across positional. Forwards were reported to cover the most relative total and high-speed distance (d = 1.0) when compared to defenders and midfielders.

Since 2008 when the Council of Richmond appointed the Board to oversee a legacy operation that is efficiently run, financially viable and not a burden to taxpayers, the Oval revenues have been on an upward financial trajectory with the 2015 performance continuing that trend. In 2015 we continued to work closely and collaboratively with our stakeholders and sport groups to enhance our programs and services, to strengthen our membership base and to expand our reach through diversification of our offerings. It is gratifying to see continued growth in these areas. Of particular note in 2015 was the successful bid to become the training centre for Volleyball Canada’s Women’s National Team, and the launch of the three much-anticipated new lines of business: the lobby retail store (ROX Shop), the dedicated yoga studio and the grand opening of the Richmond Olympic Experience, which saw over 3,000 visits from Richmond residents in its first weekend.

  • The Rio Review the Official Report Into Ireland's Campaign for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games
    SPÓRT ÉIREANN SPORT IRELAND The Rio Review The official report into Ireland's campaign for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games RIO 2016 REVIEW Foreword The Olympic and Paralympic review process is an essential component of the Irish high performance system. The implementation of the recommendations of the quadrennial reviews has been a driver of Irish high performance programmes for individual sports and the system as a whole. The Rio Review process has been comprehensive and robust. The critical feature of this Review is that the National Governing Bodies (NGBs) took a greater level of control in debriefing their own experiences. This Review reflects the views of all the key players within the high performance system. Endorsed by Sport Ireland, it is a mandate for the NGBs to fully implement the recommendations that will improve the high performance system in Ireland. There were outstanding performances in Rio at both the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Olympic roll of honour received a new addition in Rowing, with Sailing repeating its podium success achieved in Moscow 1980, demonstrating Ireland's ability to be competitive in multiple disciplines. Team Ireland has built on the success of Beijing and London, and notwithstanding problems that arose, Rio was a clear demonstration that Ireland can compete at the very highest levels of international sport. Sport Ireland is committed to the ongoing development of the Sport Ireland Institute and adding to the extensive facilities on the Sport Ireland National Sports Campus. These are real commitments to high performance sport in Ireland that will make a significant difference to Irish athletes who aspire to compete at the top level.
